I think at most Crystal has citywide range when it comes to controlling the elements, while Storm has planetary feats and can even strike you with lightning while sitting on the other side of the planet.

And this was a final straw to me in the debate...

Storm is a person with human durability. Crystal is a person with human durability. They can each kill each other in one move given their human durability. They have area of effect moves as far as not being able to dodge them. Nothing you are saying actually changes this in any way, remotely.

This fight comes down to who manages to use their powers first.

Except one has proven immune or highly resistance to some of the elemental attacks and shown a much higher skill level then the other.

The respective scale of their powers is irrelevant, because the default Khazan Arena is small enough that either character can do damage to everything inside the arena.

The variety of potential attacks is irrelevant, because both characters are fairly fragile by comic book standards and will be killed by single successful attack.

Storm's partial immunity to certain elements is irrelevant. Crystal can light her up like a torch with her elemental mastery of fire. Likewise, Storm can zorch Crystal with lightning.

Neither character has speed feats, or for that matter, powers which have been notably slow to use. They both activate their powers mentally, so they are both operating at the speed of thought, and neither character has been shown to be particularly mentally quick or slow by comic book standards. That's why this rumble comes down to a quick draw.

I understand that some people just like certain characters more than other characters, but that is also irrelevant in Rumbles because we are comparing feats and not popularity.

Quick draw. Coin toss outcome. If they fought ten times, it would probably result in five wins for Storm and five for Crystal.

Crystal is no where near as powerful as storm. Additionally storm has latent magic abilities, powers work in less than a conscious thought and just recently wielded divine power. Crystal is outclassed here.

Storm? That moved so fast only one person saw her leave? Storm that recently speedblitzed the anansi in black panther?

The reason I posted those scans earlier was to show that Storm would simply overpower Crystal.
